Emma Roberts Arrested, Released on Domestic Violence Charge

Emma Roberts, the rising star best known for her work in Scream 4 and American Horror Story, was arrested earlier this month in Canada on charges of committing domestic violence.

TMZ reports the 22-year-old actress, daughter of Eric Roberts and niece of Julia Roberts, allegedly bloodied her boyfriend Evan Peters during a fight.

According to Montreal law enforcement sources … someone called police to report a fight in Evan and Emma’s hotel room. We’re told when cops arrived … they observed Evan with a bloody nose. Emma was immediately arrested. One law enforcement source tells us Evan also had a bite mark.

Emma was released hours later because 26-year-old Evan did not want to press charges.

Roberts will soon be seen in the big-screen comedy We’re the Millers along with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis.
